Edwards Editorial

I think John Edwards is a brilliant man. As a liberal democrat, I appreciate his "looking out for the little guy." His interest in poverty, farmers, health care, and education was no lie. The problem is that Edwards did lie. This does not make him less of a political figure, but it does make him less of a man. If John Edwards was to be VP or a member of the cabinet, I would be thrilled... thrilled because I think he would help the average American. Admitting that he became "full of himself" with the attention "rings true to me." Self absorption is corrupt.

I will admit I stayed up to watch the Nightline interview. Although I felt sorry for Elizabeth (a bright and compassionate woman), I didn't feel sorry for John. IMHO, he is still lying. My guess is that the baby is his, and when/if Elizabeth passes away from cancer, the truth will be known. Even though I don't agree with lying, if this makes his families' life easier, I think it might be OK. Of course I have no way of knowing the child's father, and if the mother is OK with the current situation, it should not be "any of our business."

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa . "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal." My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active. Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside. December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity. I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food). Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country . President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" . Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group. The...

What if... The Delivery

Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska. When she opened the box, she was confused. Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag. When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun. She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind. During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt. When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird. The friend was in a state of denial. Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments. She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt. After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened. The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
